This song is so criminally underrated. 11 million views is good, but this should’ve been one of the _big_ hits for Tom. It’s amazing, can’t believe it came out in 2007
the whole early AVA work is pure art. it’s a poetical masterpiece, the metaphors, the forms, figures, the music they produce is so unique… i am still shocked at how versatile, fruitful and resourceful tom is. pure artist, magician, alien
Almost 15 years later I'm starting to appreciate AVA and Tom's choices in life more than ever. There's nothing more inspiring than someone who literally doesnt give a shit what everyone else expects you to do, and taking control of your own destiny.
So true… just guessing the “85” in your name is the year you were born, like me. We grew up with the best version of an iconic band in Blink 182. Never really got into AVA at the time of release, but am also currently starting to appreciate the music. Stay safe buddy.
People hate on Tom for doing what he does in that moment, but give it a few years and everyone gets it. I mean, look at Neighborhoods. People panned that album and Tom in particular when it came out. Now everyone loves it all of a sudden.
@@donknotts85 Just moved to San Diego and started listening to AVA more, just recently went to see them live it was great. Tom cracked jokes, talked about forming Blink 182, and shared some really deep personal stuff between songs. It was great.
Agreed they always say about people “he’s crazy for walking away from the money”. DREAMS are always more IMPORTANT than making money(unless your dream is to make money which makes your intentions unpure)!!!!
This song is no doubt legendary, but many bands had similar sounds even decades before. Not so much ahead of it's time but more so the mark of the end of an Era. I like to think the end is always more meaningful than the start.
I took my 11 yr old son to see them in concert for his first concert. I had been following Tom since blink 182, so it was awesome that my son loved this band! I was 36 yrs old at the time, and what a great bonding moment with my son. When they came on stage and started playing my son looked at me and his eyes were wide with wonder, and he said I can feel the bass drums in my chest! I laughed and said welcome to a live concert! He has been going to live concerts ever since! Great memory ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 46 years old and think I´ve heard it all with Pantera, RATM, Mother Love Bone, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and so on but then I hear this I get excited. It´s so effin good. Most songs of Angels and Airwaves are so effin good I get a big smile on my face. More than that they feel existential. Like a small part of the universe that seems to connect. Perfect music just to look at the skies with.
What a great song! I was 14 when Blink 182 blew up in the late 90s, then just about out of high school & going to college when Box Car Racer came about, and finally Angels & Airwaves for the majority of my adulthood. AvA is my favorite of all of Tom's bands...and that is saying something! I still listen to blink and am transported back to memories of teen angst, first loves, and limitless possibilities. Box Car was sort of the bridge between being a kid and a man, learning to feel deeply but still somewhat naive of the world. AvA have produced so many anthems that are so personal to me: what it is to be a man, a warrior, to stumble and even fall, to fail, but to then pick yourself up & refuse to quit...and find a rebirth that is more complete, fulfilling, and worthwhile than you could have ever imagined as a kid :)
I love Tom’s voice and style of melody in his music. There’s just an indescribable sense of euphoric comfort when listening to his voice accompanied with the sounds of electric guitars, bass, and drums. His music is the best antidepressant.
I won't get tired of listening all over again to Angels and Airwaves. Really impressive. Makes me feel like I am in the edge of a cliff and my arms raised up high, just feeling the wind... haaay. And I just love Tom's voice. If I will be married, I hope they would sing and play on my wedding day! :)
I watched "The Pursuit Of Tone" recently and it was very inspiring. It completely changed my attitude to Tom and AVA. I thought he just grew up and got bored but I don't see it that way after watching the pursuit of tone
Right now. This song could cure anything. June 1st 2020 Edit: I’m pretty sure I’ve never had over 1 like or any comments ever when I post a comment lol still listening to Secret Crowds...
"If I had my own world, I love it for all that's inside it." Nobody really cares about whether you 'like this better than blink.' Please just listen to the music and fuse it into your life in a positive way.
I wish more people truly didn't care in this world. You get a lot of that lukewarm putrid filfth out of folks. I like the way the guy sounds, and I'd like to see peace in this world as well. The lion laying down with the lamb will be nice.
Commiserating the litmus strip only adds the age old question, which came first, the acid or the base? (I know, I'm hilarious.) Goddammit now Lit is stuck in my head again. Sigh. BRB. Gonna go watch Pamela Anderson spin in a circle in electrical tape because then Tommy Lee stays completely miserable and barbwire bicep armband tattoos become a thing again. Because lol. #KeepHopeAlive
+Kaneki Ken There is! It's right here :) I was 14 when Blink 182 blew up in the late 90s, then just about out of high school & going to college when Box Car Racer came about, and finally Angels & Airwaves for the majority of my adulthood. Every band was perfect for the period of my life I associate with them.
If I had my own world I'd fill it with wealth and desire A glorious past to admire And voices of kids out walking dogs Birds, planes, cleanest cars If I had my own world I'd love it for all that's inside it There'd be no more wars, death or riots There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots Guns, bombs sounding off If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder If I had my own world I'd show you the life that's inside it The way that it glows when you find it The way it survives with its families Friends or its enemies Let's make this a new world I swear you can go if you want to I know that you have it within you Inventing the first clean and usable God's greatest miracle If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder
Idk I thought this song always sucked. Me and my girlfriend would always make fun of it. They'd always used to play it on that channel Degrassi was on. Holy fuck I can't believe this was 10 years ago.
You are right. I didn't look for this on youtube till I heard this on "One Tree Hill" which was an American TV show that aired a long time ago. That show had some pretty amazing songs.
One of my favorite songs of AVA. I am shame to say that after Blink broke up I rejected to listen AVA for many years. However, I fell in LOVE after listening "Heaven", I started recognizing the words of support, motivation and hope that these songs brought. AVA is always here to pick me up when I am think nothing makes sense.
We would watch mainstream media and eat up all their lies. We will hate anyone who thinks differently instead of keeping a open mind and having worthwhile discovery with each other. We watch the social media and believe what ever we want as long as we agree with the lies. We hate for no real reason and never question the elites who have raised and destroyed countless civilizations. I do believe the great awakening is upon us but it’s up to all of us to question and seek answers. LOVE ALL TRUST A FEW AND DO HARM TO NO ONE ONE. WAR IS DELIGHTFUL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OF IT.
Chloe Louise There's another great song from this album in season 6. How far into the show are you? I know this post was 7 months ago, but I gotta ask.
Exactly what I say.hes not going to continue singing about insecurities and pain etc from growing up,being a teen,broken family and whatever.he grew up.hes a man,mature.his lyrics and music is all uplifting and whatever.its pretty dam good I love it.im old too.FRANK W.
Of course there will always be people that Love Blink and Hate AVA.... And vice versa. AVA is just more serious lyrically and musically. I'm a bit of an introvert so Not Only do I understand the deep concepts Tom was going for, but they mean something to me. Don't get me wrong I've been listening to blink since i was like 9. But AVA's music sends chills down my spine. I think the Mixing and Mastering is really great (Thanks to Jeff Newell). All I know is there's always gonna be ppl that are hating even on something so positive of a message.
For real! I think Blink fans were so pissed off at Tom for leaving they never gave A&A a chance. I’ve always thought their music was on another level, so different, they’re their own genre..space rock I like to call it lol.
+Jagger Davidson What do you mean is that a problem? How is having a fake voice considered not a problem? People give athletes shit for using PEDS but don't give a shit about musicians using auto tune, pitch correct, ghost writers, lip syncing, so on and so forth. Not trying to be a dick but it's people with your mindset of accepting any non talented hack, that's killing the music industry. Musicians are supposed to be artist, not actors. Would you look at Da Vinci differently, if he had someone else come up with his art, and he just traced over it? Same concept.
If I had my own world I'd fill it with love and desire I wanted the glorious past you admire And voices of kids out walking dogs, Birds, planes, trees and cars If I had my own world I'd love it for all that's inside it There'd be no more wars, death or riots, There'd be no more faiths, packed parking lots, Guns, bombs sounding off, If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the farlands To spread love like violence If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the farmlands To spread love like violence Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder If I had my own world I'd show you the life that's inside it The way that it glows when you find it The way it survives with it's families, Friends or it's enemies Let's make this a new world I swear you can go if you want to I know that you have it within you Inventing the first clean musical, God's greatest miracle If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the farmlands To spread love like violence If I had my own world I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Let me feel you carry you higher Watch our words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder One of my favourite AVA songs ever!
That moment when you're wearing a Blink 182 t shirt and you listen to Angels and Airwaves and you didn't know it was a Tom Delonge side project and everything feels like it's interconnected. Freakin awesome ;)
epicnate98 I have a Blink-182 t-shirt, but I listen to Angels & Airwaves and even though I like Blink-182 too, Angels And Airwaves’ music relates to me in many ways.
IT has always been TOMS genius through lyrical intelligence. He never was a sellout! He knew the truth that others did not see way before his time (a wise soul) and spread it through his lyrics because he knows that through TRUTH and LOVE and humanity's morals there is an alternative to what he was probably seeing through mainstreamed music industry
I remember when I was 14 I would boot up Tony Hawk Proving Ground on the PS2 and listen to this on the game. Nastalga. Makes me miss the good old days where everything was peaceful.
By far one of Tom’s greatest musical contributions, one of the best all time songs and I’m still here jamming to it 10+ years on.
Me too man! In 2008 my roommates were less than thrilled that I would jam this in repeat lol
Me too
Always come back to Angels and Airwaves.
Same surprised E standard the new album “Lifeforms” has some drop D
Im with youuu
This song is so criminally underrated. 11 million views is good, but this should’ve been one of the _big_ hits for Tom. It’s amazing, can’t believe it came out in 2007
hell yeah
Totally agree man
This is where blink fans went during the drought 😅
the whole early AVA work is pure art. it’s a poetical masterpiece, the metaphors, the forms, figures, the music they produce is so unique…

this song was definitely ahead of its time
Definitely streats ahead
Nah ur just lost surprised you ever heard this song
This song is no doubt legendary, but many bands had similar sounds even decades before. Not so much ahead of it's time but more so the mark of the end of an Era. I like to think the end is always more meaningful than the start.
@AcoolCat pppppo ppppp
Still relevant in 2021!
One of the best songs from any band, anywhere, ever.
no doubt! 2021 an still gives me chills listening too! Remarkable!
Absolutely
It’s 2022 and I’m still in love with this song.
this song will forever make me happy
I'm going to guess that was the point of the song instead of noting how the song sounds like it says penis cars instead of cleanest cars
zaki ssgss you do have your own world. :)
actually kinda is saddening, actually. Can't have sweet without bitter.

This comment right here describes the feeling AVA gives more than any other, thank you.
Best Angels and Airwaves song ever. I could listen to it all the time. Anyone Listening in 2020 quarantine?
big call B
Yes
Agree It's the best I've heard so far. Love the guitar riff It's badass.
2021 quarantine!
Their new song "Euphoria" might have beaten this one
I love Tom’s voice and style of melody in his music. There’s just an indescribable sense of euphoric comfort when listening to his voice accompanied with the sounds of electric guitars, bass, and drums. His music is the best antidepressant.

Awesomeness
TONY HAWKS PROVING GROUNDS!!!!!!! This was the only song i listened too and I put that ish on repeat!

Hey joe
On the whole, I'm with Tom. He's creative and interesting. I prefer Angels & Airwaves because they are different, a change in direction.
Same doe
I watched "The Pursuit Of Tone" recently and it was very inspiring. It completely changed my attitude to Tom and AVA. I thought he just grew up and got bored but I don't see it that way after watching the pursuit of tone
haha i just saw that documentary a few hours back and now i read this comment and it perfectly resonates. tom is amazing.
Watched it last night. And I agree totally. I always liked Tom, but I have a new found respect for him. He's truly a talented and creative guy
That's a great documentary. Loved it.
Tom’s vocals on this song are perfect
This song couldn’t be more relevant than it is now! Awesome song! We need more love and less violence
Finally Tom is releasing his talent without nothing standing in his way.
Wow... This is amazing.. God bless this band. God bless everyone. What a time to be alive!
I’ve been listening to this song for about 8 years and it’s still my favourite song of all time ❤️ I want to see this live!
mine is too broh
Right now. This song could cure anything. June 1st 2020

Remember listening to this when I was 14. Good music is hard to come by these days.
For some reason good music always finds me
well hey I'm 14 and I'm listening to this now
there still is ^-^ you just need to dig through the crappy layer of pop music to find it

If you listen to rock alternative stations/playlist, there are actually some really good bands
Ten years later and this still kicks all the asses :D This must be one of my top 3 favourtie songs of all time
So good! :D
I miss this music!!! It speaks to me! To my soul! The world needs to hear music like this again!
If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs
Birds, planes, cleanest cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots
Guns, bombs sounding off
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with its families
Friends or its enemies
Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean and usable
God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world

If the world ever needed a song more than ever today, this would be it.
This takes me back to high school...
This song never got the attention it deserved. For the many who are awakening in this world, you may know what I'm talking about......
What are you talking about.
Idk I thought this song always sucked. Me and my girlfriend would always make fun of it. They'd always used to play it on that channel Degrassi was on. Holy fuck I can't believe this was 10 years ago.
I think that is true in general for AVA... these guys are switched on! :)
You are right. I didn't look for this on youtube till I heard this on "One Tree Hill" which was an American TV show that aired a long time ago. That show had some pretty amazing songs.
Agenda 21 United Nations . Racism, Hate, Democrat or Republican. Seems most people will stay asleep concerned only with selfies and likes.
"Spread love like Violence "... need this in the world now more than Ever!
This song always makes me believe. Such a positive way of looking at things. Just love Tom's work!
For everybody just commenting, we all knew this was amazing when it released. Some of us were lucky to see this touring, such great times.
Banger when I first listened as a young lad. Banger today

I hope this one is included in the new tour. I think hearing this and "Everything's Magic" live is going to be a moment I'll remember my entire life.
One of my favorite AvA songs. Their songs just have a special sound that doesn't age. I love seeing Tom evolve with AvA
Still sounds good in 2015
AVA, what can I say; best music ever made. CANT WAIT for new album in Dec.
So nostalgic
Tom want better world for everyone. I absolutely love him!
I am so happy that I discovered one tree hill otherwise I would never have found this song. Love it so much
Chloe Louise There's another great song from this album in season 6. How far into the show are you? I know this post was 7 months ago, but I gotta ask.
Ive seen all of the One Tree Hill series ☺️
Secret Crowds, The Adventure, and Lifeline were all on One Tree Hill.
What episodes were the songs on?
+Chloe Louise sameeeeee lol
Angels and Airwaves music makes me feel as though I might could love again some day.
You loved again? I need your answer to me right now
2024 still listen
Tom's music has matured dramatically. I liked the old stuff & love the new.
People who want the old tom need to grow up..he did!
Roger Henderson when singers starts to get mature their taste of music changes,they get new ideas
Exactly what I say.hes not going to continue singing about insecurities and pain etc from growing up,being a teen,broken family and whatever.he grew up.hes a man,mature.his lyrics and music is all uplifting and whatever.its pretty dam good I love it.im old too.FRANK W.
Damn man i would listen to this back in Cuba in 2008 after watching One Tree Hill
This song echoed with me today. Spread love like violence/fire!
Spread Love like Violence
Spread Hope like Fire
This is their best song and easily one of the top 50 songs of the 2000s
This song is amazing, it never gets old. I Empire is the best AVA album! I love listening to it in the Fall when the earth is so beautiful.
That album is a God given gift I swear!
I know man, so true. I agree 100%.
ALWAYS XD
Song hits me in the feels. Don’t know why, but it’s powerful.
Tom is such an inspiration he just does whatever and it is always great and he will do what he wants not what anyone else wants he does it for him
This reminds me of coming out of a particularly bad time in my life, and feeling hopeful again.
10 Years Ago, the time is fast :(
12 now :')
yes... yes it is.
12 years
Yep was 20 now I’m 30 it’s scary fast to think Tom was 31 when writing these songs and here I am that age hopeless 😂🤦🏻♂️
Listen to that emotion
Nostalgiaaaa One tree Hill 🖤🖤🖤🔥🇧🇷
All of his lyrics are poetic! Guess that's why he made Poet Anderson.
Yes it is...but I think there is something more...something like esoteric(mystical).
It is weird seeing Tom without a guitar and singing.
This song hits differently as I’m going through a spiritual awakening. Took me 12 years to fully understand this song.
good track, love the chorus!
Who remembers when this came out? I can't believe I was a junior in high school!!!! I feel so old!!
What a masterpiece 🔥
Almost end of 2019..this song still play everyday in music list

Watching this at 2020.while been in lockdown coz of Corona Virus... please Tom, we need you to build an empire in our own world.love you!
Of course there will always be people that Love Blink and Hate AVA.... And vice versa.
AVA is just more serious lyrically and musically. I'm a bit of an introvert so Not Only do I understand the deep concepts Tom was going for, but they mean something to me. Don't get me wrong I've been listening to blink since i was like 9. But AVA's music sends chills down my spine. I think the Mixing and Mastering is really great (Thanks to Jeff Newell). All I know is there's always gonna be ppl that are hating even on something so positive of a message.
Trvplord Kakashi yeah I agree with you, I do like Blink better but these guys are still very good
I just think who cares who’s a better band they are all freaking incredible
I love both
I like both 😊
Angels and airwaves never got the praise they deserved.
For real! I think Blink fans were so pissed off at Tom for leaving they never gave A&A a chance. I’ve always thought their music was on another level, so different, they’re their own genre..space rock I like to call it lol.
Tom looks so healthy here, good
Love this song ... Inspirational
Tom's voice is so distinctive. It's no wonder you rarely see people try and cover AVA stuff
Trajan Mitchelson ...and?
+Jagger Davidson What do you mean is that a problem?
How is having a fake voice considered not a problem? People give athletes shit for using PEDS but don't give a shit about musicians using auto tune, pitch correct, ghost writers, lip syncing, so on and so forth.
Not trying to be a dick but it's people with your mindset of accepting any non talented hack, that's killing the music industry.
Musicians are supposed to be artist, not actors. Would you look at Da Vinci differently, if he had someone else come up with his art, and he just traced over it?
Same concept.
Admirable banda y Tom de Longe perfecta voz Saludos desde Tegucigalpa. Honduras 🇭🇳
Ahh who remembers tony hawk proving ground? :D
My favorite game
That's why I knew about this band, too.
Dude...

2024 goin strong
Im here and for everyone
Anyone hear in 2024??

Hell yes I am 🎉
Me❤
Im here thaks to one tree hill series😂
The fact this song only has 11m views is a crime against humanity. Legendary.
If I had my own world
I'd fill it with love and desire
I wanted the glorious past you admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
Birds, planes, trees and cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots,
There'd be no more faiths, packed parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off,
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's families,
Friends or it's enemies
Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean musical,
God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
One of my favourite AVA songs ever!
That moment when you're wearing a Blink 182 t shirt and you listen to Angels and Airwaves and you didn't know it was a Tom Delonge side project and everything feels like it's interconnected. Freakin awesome ;)
epicnate98 I have a Blink-182 t-shirt, but I listen to Angels & Airwaves and even though I like Blink-182 too, Angels And Airwaves’ music relates to me in many ways.
I'd build you an empire(empiyeeeer)
Alvin Garcia Umpire
Best airwaves song
IT has always been TOMS genius through lyrical intelligence. He never was a sellout! He knew the truth that others did not see way before his time (a wise soul) and spread it through his lyrics because he knows that through TRUTH and LOVE and humanity's morals there is an alternative to what he was probably seeing through mainstreamed music industry
Love this song and this band but who taught Tom how to pronounce words
Peace and love, from AVA
I remember when I was 14 I would boot up Tony Hawk Proving Ground on the PS2 and listen to this on the game. Nastalga. Makes me miss the good old days where everything was peaceful.
